"The house is very eco-friendly, so for instance our heating comes from a wood-chip burner," said Ms. Krok. "I really enjoy the kitchen partly because it looks so different, with an eclectic mixture of reclaimed materials. I especially love the old butcher's block at the center."

"The views of London are amazing. You can see as far as the London Eye," said Ms. Krok. "It's a lovely place to have a meal or a drink and there's an area on the roof terrace which feels rather like a bar, with an old fireplace."

The house is in Berkley Road, in the fashionable London district of Primrose Hill. "It's an amazing area, really neighborly, but many days I never get in the car because you can walk to Selfridges, the zoo or Camden and there are so many lovely restaurants and shops close by," said Ms. Krok
